In the first instance, applicants are advised to identify potential supervisors with Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics, based on their research area of interest. The supervisor will then be nominated on the application form together with the agreed research project. As science advances, projects may or may not change.

Your research will be conducted at Oxford under the supervision of academic staff who are generally at the forefront of developments in your chosen research project area. You will explore your research subject area to new depths and may have the opportunity to present your findings to members of the international scientific community with whom, one day, you may collaborate.

After attending the new graduate students’ induction day, you will then meet your supervisor and fellow group members. You will complete an Analysis of your Training Needs (TNA) with your supervisor. You will attend any training courses from the divisional flexible skills training programme which includes a range of workshops and seminars in transferable skills, generic research skills and specific research techniques if pertinent to your MSc research area. You will have access to regular departmental seminars, peer presentation groups for fine tuning presentation deliverance and graduate student social events that incorporate informal talks aimed at students. Examples are “Public Speaking and Securing Your First Postdoc Job”, ”Careers”, “Poster Presentation” and from seminars talks in various themes from eminent worldwide scientists to talks. Special lectures are given to recognise previous famous scientists of the department and will vary in subject.

You will be encouraged to submit termly reports on your progress and report courses undertaken. The supervisor will also contribute to the termly reports.
